wow 1.50 the needle she uses is mine and it was almost 50 dollars that is an awsome price ( mine is brass and has changable heads and alot of stuff like that made in russia . Please show us all when you get yours done or half done what ever. Yes she drew the picture herself I had her sit down and draw 30 pictures then we went throught them and discussed why they would or wouldn't be good canidates then narrowed down to this one. I like that you call it a "new" craft ( I know that is ajoke so here is some info). As it is centuries old all the way back to the middle ages even before that in ancient egypt they used hollow bird bones as their needles. So not exactly a new craft (just a revival of an old craft as the saying goes whats old is new again).

Wow Sunshine, I knew it wasn't NEW, but had no idea it was ancient! You are a wealth of information!
Not sure how fancy my little kit is...there is a vial with several different size needles and instructions. Funny thing, I passed the kit up the week before, and regretted it. When it was still there the next week, I thought I must "need" it! LOL
I think I was avoiding learning yet another new craft. But it looks so easy-how could I not!?
Seems like a perfect craft to introduce to your young ones! Easy to learn and quick to complete! A sure confidence booster!
Blessings, Rhonda

she entered this in an art contest with two other drawings she did I never saw those. Out of the three items 2 won awards and get to go on to the next level. One was a chalk drawing and one was the russian needle punch. the other was a pencil and inkk drawing that came home today. She is so excited last year she lost to her sister. This year she won in two catagories.

It is pretty easy you just buy the needles at roberts craft or Michaels and then you stretch your fabric on the hoop load needle directions on package. Have image on fabric before stretching what ever you want to do. Just remember you are working from the back of the work so all letters have to be written backwards. then start punching. it is an up and down motion keeping the tip of the needle on the fabric not pulling away from fabric or you will pull out your stitchs change colors as needed. real simple that is why we picked it as her art project simple with neat results.

thanks everyone everyday after school she asks who has commented this is so much fun to her. Like I said last year her sister beat her in this compatition and this year big sister didn't enter and she won in two catagories. My usband and myslef think this is great it is a big moral buster for her. She seems to live in big sisters shadow kind of hard on her. So this is her time to shine at the moment and she is enjoying it thank you.
